Ruckus on Chahal’s team (Photo-Instagram)
Yuzvendra Chahal: Fans are cursing Yuzvendra Chahal who is holidaying in Thailand before the T20 World Cup 2026. The reason for this is his reversal on the issue of Ishan Kishan’s selection. Actually, Chahal has joined Star Sports as an expert before the T20 World Cup and he shared his best playing eleven with the fans in the first match of the T20 World Cup. The surprising thing is that he has not kept Ishan Kishan in the playing eleven and has given preference to Sanju Samson over him.
What did Chahal do?
Fans are not liking this 25 second video of Yuzvendra Chahal. Fans are making strange comments on this video of Yuzvendra Chahal. A fan even reminded him that he was talking about giving a chance to Ishan Kishan during the T20 series against New Zealand and now he is excluding the same player by keeping Samson in the team.

Yuzvendra Chahal chose this playing eleven
Yuzvendra Chahal has kept Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Tilak Verma in his playing eleven. He also gave place to Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya in the playing eleven. Apart from this, he gave place to Shivam Dubey and Rinku Singh, as well as Akshar Patel in the playing eleven. In bowling, he gave opportunity to Varun Chakraborty, Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. However, fans do not agree with him at all on the issue of ousting Ishan Kishan. Let us tell you that Ishan Kishan had performed brilliantly in the T20 series against New Zealand. He played 4 T20 matches and scored one century and one half-century, on the other hand, Sanju Samson could not even score 50 runs in the entire series. This is the reason why Ishan Kishan’s claim in the playing eleven seems stronger.
